Liva Mini PCs @ Computex 2015

Computex 2015: Liva is quickly becoming one of the coolest SFF computer companies in the world, offering sleek systems that looks great, offer impressive performance and a wide range of features to suit many different markets. As you can see in the pictures below, they’ve got some great looking systems with impressive specs, especially so given their tiny form factors. The feature that most caught our eye was the built-in microphone, allowing the use of the Windows 10 feature “Cortana”. These are great options for HTPC users, or for creating an advanced smart TV, but they could be just as handy in the office.

At these sizes the only thing that can differentiate Intel from ARM sticks is a fast cpu and enough hardware to run Windows 10 with a performance that will not drive someone crazy. I would be laughing at a BayTrail with 1GB of RAM trying to run Win10. That would be hilarious. This Core M looks interesting even if it starts to throttle 5 minutes after powering it ON.
